Also, the genius of Apple was initially getting rid of ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, every new generation should actually become <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/28\/ultralight-design\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"345642\">lighter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/01\/10\/thick-vs-thin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"347412\">thinner<\/a>. My ideal is that every upgraded Apple product becomes more feather light, and also thinner. I desire the iPhone mini to keep getting thinner, rather than the iPhone Pro to keep getting bigger and thicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With cars, the best car is still probably the Tesla model 3, because it is the smallest Tesla car, also with the fewest amount of superfluous design elements. For example, I really do not like these pieces of plastic above the wheel well which is on the Tesla model X in the Tesla model Y. The Tesla model 3 is the most pure design. And I like it the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, with Lamborghini cars, perhaps the Lamborghini <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamborghini.com\/en-en\/models\/huracan\/huracan-sto\">Huracan<\/a> is actually superior to the Aventador, because it is smaller and simpler. And beside the traditional iconic Lamborghini scissor doors, I actually think that the design of the Lamborghini Huracan is superior to that of the Aventador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air over Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another realization I had: Apple Products which are air or actually superiored in the pro models. Why is that? The air models will always be lighter, thus superior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightness is superior to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also from a lifestyle approach, to  subtract superfluous activities and possessions seems wise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just one lift, once a week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, if we take this notion to weightlifting, maybe it is best for us to just do one given lift, once a week, than having variety of workouts. For example, just doing a one rep max sumo <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/23\/eric-kim-475-pound-sumo-deadlift-one-rep-max\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"298213\">deadlifts<\/a> PR attempt, every week once a week, then doing any other lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t buy a plug-in hybrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic idea of a plug-in hybrid seems like you get the best of both worlds: electric vehicle, and part gas vehicle. But to me, this seems like a bad compromise. Also from a design perspective, the plug-in hybrid is an <em>additional<\/em> feature, which is not necessary. Or in other words, better to just get a Prius over a Prius prime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More features, or fewer features?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":350501,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-351247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/g18-2-of-87-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351247"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":351263,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351247\/revisions\/351263"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
